<Icon name="Blocks" aria-hidden="true" /> [**Bundles**](/components-bundle-components) contain custom components that support specific third-party integrations with Langflow.

This page describes the components that are available in the **OpenAI** bundle.

For more information about OpenAI features and functionality used by OpenAI components, see the [OpenAI documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/overview).

## OpenAI text generation

The **OpenAI** component generates text using [OpenAI's language models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models).

It provides access to the same OpenAI models that are available in the core **Language Model** component, but the **OpenAI** component provides additional parameters for customizing the request to the OpenAI API.

It can output either a **Model Response** ([`Message`](/data-types#message)) or a **Language Model** ([`LanguageModel`](/data-types#languagemodel)).

Use the **Language Model** output when you want to use a specific OpenAI model configuration as the LLM for another LLM-driven component, such as an **Agent** or **Smart Function** component.

For more information, see [Language model components](/components-models).

### OpenAI text generation parameters

<PartialParams />

| Name | Type | Description |
|------|------|-------------|
| api_key | SecretString | Input parameter. Your OpenAI API Key. |
| model | String | Input parameter. The name of the OpenAI model to use. Options include "gpt-3.5-turbo" and "gpt-4". |
| max_tokens | Integer | Input parameter. The maximum number of tokens to generate. Set to 0 for unlimited tokens. |

## OpenAI Embeddings

The **OpenAI Embeddings** component uses [OpenAI embedding models](https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/embeddings) for embedding generation.

It provides access to the same OpenAI models that are available in the core **Embedding Model** component, but the **OpenAI Embeddings** component provides additional parameters for customizing the request to the OpenAI embedding API.

For more information about using embedding model components in flows, see [Embedding model components](/components-embedding-models).
